Some of you might remember Dressember last year- I decided to wear a dress every day in December and post the photos here. Here's a link to last year's Dressember posts.
It's back for it's 2nd annual run, and this year's festivities are bound to be bigger and better than ever! Joining me this year are Amy, Beatrice, and Cami- and you could too!!
Dressember is: a month of dresses! Wear a dress everyday for all 31 days of December. Only dresses, no skirts (still toying with "Skirtember," so stay tuned for that!), and you're allowed to repeat dresses (not all of us have 31 dresses, after all....). I'm thinking about creating a personal challenge, like the same seven dresses, one for each day of the week, re-styled four times (some of them five times)? I'll be thinking that over. Anywho, you take a picture of you in your dress each day, and post the pics to your blog either daily or weekly (or semi-weekly). This is largely on the honor's system, so no cheating and taking multiple pics of yourself on the same day and then prancing around in pants the rest of the month! That would be cheating. Duh. Besides, you'd be missing the spirit of Dressember: reclaiming/embracing/celebrating femininity! And just being fun and not taking life so seriously all the time.
Beatrice was so kind as to start up a flickr group for us as well, so if you're on board, check that out and email me at blythehill@gmail.com with the subject line "Yes to Dressember!" and send me your blog url to add to our Dressember roster (coming soon)!
Tell your friends! Post to your blog! Dressember is coming!

I can't wait to see what you are wearing but I'd never make it! I think I have a total of 4 dresses that would work. Talk about repeat! And maybe one of them is December weather friendly.
Ohhhh I'm debating joining you...
I think i'll join your dressember!! :)

I can't believe it's been a year already! Yipers...
I'm already trying super hard to wear cute outfits to work and with the winter and freezing cold temps coming in, it's getting harder to wear anything but fleece and jeans outside. Maybe if I lived in warm, sunny lands I'd be more inclined to give this a go. Good luck girls and enjoy!
This might lure me back to blogging.
Count me in!
Great minds think alike! I set myself the challenge on my blog (not realising it had been done before!)and mentioned it on a forum, and now there's 71 of us in the UK doing it, and we have a facebook group http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Dressember/125734977487362
Come and visit! There's lots of excited chatter about "frocking up" ready for dressember right now, with dresses flying off ebay to all end of the country!
We've also been using #Dressember on Twitter, and a lovely fashion insider left a whole load of tips on finding the right dress for you a couple of nights ago.
Really excited, and can't wait for Dressember to start (in fact I've worn dresses for the last 2 days already!)
What a fab idea!
I'm new to your blog and totally loving it x

Hey Blythe!
I'm so excited to do Dressember this year! I'm Josh's wife and he was telling me about how you did it a few years ago and so I decided to join in this year too! I'm planning on blogging through it all. I hope you don't mind but I am going to post your Dressember sign!
